A really quick field beanie, requested by Hubby. He’s gonna need it this winter when he heads out back!

Socks? Toe gloves? Toe socks? Whatever they are, they’re useful to have around. This pair is actually a bit too large for me, so I’m going to put it the wash and see what happens.

To satisfy my love of vintage-y clothes at the moment, I’ve knitted a cropped cardigan.

It has lovely lace details and has been knitted up in 10 ply cotton, warm enough for an autumn’s day.

Good thing was it was relatively quick to knit up – a mere 5 weeks! And it fits very nicely.

Along with Mum’s leg warmers, I had been knitting this shrug at the same time as an alternative. It turned out pretty well and goes with my 50’s style dresses.

In preparation for winter, I’ve knitted a few things.

A double strand beanie to keep out the cold.

And for those extra cold days, a headband to wear under my beanie.

It’s March, daylight is shrinking, and the nights are a little nippier. That said, it’s not quite cold enough for leg warmers, but my mum is a planner. She is planning to travel to some cooler climes in the next 12 months and requested a pair of these months back.

Lucky she did because it took me almost 5 months to knit these up. Technically it was very easy (just a long tub), but 4 ply sock yarn is a bugger to knit with.

Hopefully these will do her well on her travels to the Antarctic and Arctic Circles.

One more toddler vest for a friend’s daughter, the appropriately named Ruby.
